Just like to get your opinion, There is some rumblings that MN may consider going lead free in the centerfire ammo requirements in the future. Trying to stay ahead of the curve I was searching for sources of E-tip ammo and came across Winchester CT (combined Technology) and they are selling...

Just a thought, rather than eliminating the posts, the moderator should use the information about products being mentioned on their site (that they don't carry) as a sort of market survey. If a lot of people are jumping on the bandwagon for a particular product, forward that information to the...

Again, I apolgize in advance for what may seem like a stupid question, but shouldn't running the brass through the die (full or just neck) take care of that problem. My total reloading knowledge comes from having read the Hornady Handbook of cartridge reloading (3 rd edition) that was given as...

For the non reloader (yet) what is bullet run out? Sorry for the newbie question. Steve

Now before you all jump on this, I know it has to be more than 1! Reason I ask is, this fall I was sighting in my 06 for dear season. Now I don't reload yet, so I am just shooting factory loads. Federal Premium Nosler PT 180's. The spotter calls out my target at 100 and I fire my first shot...

What type of powder is Federal or Hornady using for their "light mag" loadings? Is this powder available for the handloading public and does the average handloader have the equipment available to create custom handloads using these new powders? For example. They seem to get about 200 fps more...

Rick & Fredj, thanks for the info....I get it now. I didn't realize that there would be that much difference in burn rate for the powders that work well in the 06. I have a reloading manual that shows many different loads and what is the max load but the manual doesn't show the load density...

Question for you knowledgeable reloaders......I am looking at some of the load listings for the 06 and for the 200 gr AB and RL-22 I see 3 different powder charges and the corresponding velocities and then on the far right I see Load density's of up to 98% at 58 grns. This would be a max load...

Don't want to hijack Ridgerunners thread but have a question, generally speaking is it better to have a faster twist rate for a heavier bullet (based on cal.) or a slower rate? Example I have a Win Model 70 in 3006. What twist rate would you use for a 165 AB vs a 200 AB? I realize that...

JD 338. Thanks. I have hunted with NP for my entire hunting career (Fed Prem's) and have never had the NP's fail to do their job. Most of the guys I hunt with have now switched over (although most are staying with 165's) I already have a couple of reloading manuals that I have read numerous...

Jeff, thanks for the feedback on the AB. In the past I have used the 180NP's (federal) for my hunting and have always had a through and through on deer. Haven't had to check my tracking skills yet as they have gone straight down. For whatever reason I am a heavy bullet fan. As I look at the...

Thanks for the quick response. I will look at the load data for the 200 PT. That was the other load I was considering. I figured they would end up being pretty similar load data but just wanted to make sure. The better BC of the AB should give it a little better performance for longer shots...

Can the 200 grain Accubond be loaded in 30-06. I saw the load data for the 300WSM for the 200 grain Accubond and was wondering if the jacket thickness was designed for higher velocity loads found in the magnums. The Balistic co efficient on this projectile is unbelievable with a sec density...
